Localities on the Trans-Australian Railway
text:
When the Trans-Australian Railway was completed in 1917 from Kalgoorlie to Port Augusta, about 50 settlements of various sizes were established along the line, from which maintenance workers kept the track in operational condition. They and their families led an isolated life, although they were supplied with provisions by a weekly special train, which also provided banking and postal facilities.
Passenger trains were hauled by steam locomotives, which needed to take on water at various stopping
